Cartoonjosh Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Hi, selection can get very difficult with Designer. I use Designer (also) to draw with a Wacom, so I often end up with loads of objects. When I "bulk select" objects in a part of the drawing I invariably end up catching unintended bits and pieces which are thereafter very difficult to deselect. I must note also that at least on my Mac (M1 chip, updated OS) Designer often still has that old issue of the selection not matching up with the pointer (I don't understand if this is an ancient bug or it's just Designer's... design) . This seems to get worse exactly when there are many very close objects. Anyway, the whole selecting and deselecting operation becomes a big hit-and-miss game. I get so frustrated that I sometimes go to Settings and change the selection default to the kind where the pointer just needs to touch an object rather than engulf it, but that, too, has its drawbacks. A lasso would seem like the logical tool. Is there a reason why this was never implemented?

I don't think there is any specific reason that a lasso selection for the move tool has not been added, if this is something that you would like to see implemented feel free to make a post over on the feature requests section. 🙂

I am pretty sure a lasso selection would make working with certain kinds of images, namely illustrations mad up of many small objects, a lot easier.
